IMPROVEMENT IN BROOM-HANGERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 187,797, dated February 27, 1877; application filed December 9, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WM. ALTIGK, of Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Broom, 8250., Hangers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

My invention has for its object an improved hanger for brooms, tools, and other like article's.

The novelty consists in the peculiar construction of the two parts composing the device, and in their manner of junction, whereby rivets and other extraneous devices are dispensed with, and. the greatest simplicity and strength are attained, as will be herewith set forth and claimed.

To enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same I would thus describe it, referring to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 represents, in perspective, my improved hanger suspending a broom. Fig. 2 is an enlarged central section of the device in elevation.

My device consists of a metal ring or annular disk, A, having projecting from it a curved shank, b, of the shape represented in Fig. 2,

from which extends laterally on each side a trunnion, 0, while projecting from the under side is a shoulder or stop, d. B representsthe bracket portion of the device of the shape shown in Fig. 1. It has through it a longitudinal T-shaped slot, through the top of which the shank b, with its trunnions, is passed, the latter then resting in recesses f.

This'bracket is secured to the'wall by a sin- .gle screw, as shown in 'Fig. 2, or in any other in shown, and, consequently, disclaim the general principle of so doing; but

What I do claim as new is as follows: As a new article of manufacture, the here- 'in-described broom and tool hanger, composed of the ring A, with its shank, trunnions, and shoulder, and the slotted and recessed bracket B, when constructed and united, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

Witness my hand this 25th day of Novemher, A. D. 1876.
